Obagi Skin Care Review

Obagi Skin Care is a Californian company who produce a large range of anti aging and beauty products, including several products to fight the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Obagi’s philosophy is that as well as natural aging as you get older, the skin is also aged prematurely by factors such as wind and sun exposure, stress and pollution. Each of the products in the range targets one of these factors and counteracts the effects. The website claims that if using the products once a day as recommended, results should be visible within 4 to 6 weeks.

How does Obagi Skin Care Work?

Different products in the range work in different ways, depending on which of the factors has most contributed to the damage in your skin. Quite how you determine which product is best for you to use is not explained, and it is also unclear whether you can use more than one of the products if your face has been affected by more than one aging factor. Each of the different product lines also contains around 6 items, so even though the cost of each individual product is reasonable, using the full range can result in a considerable cost. The products are not for sale in stores or even on the internet, and have to be bought from a physician. The company says that this is because the strength of the creams means they can only be bought on prescription. The Obagi website is very detailed and provides a huge amount of detail about each product, including testimonials, before and after pictures, FAQs, results of tests and fact sheets about how to use the products can be downloaded. It’s an informative and professional website, and certainly gives the impression that Obagi are a serious company who have a good product that they have every confidence in.

Conclusion

As Obagi is available exclusively from doctors or dermatologists, it costs more if you are going to use it long term, not only in the costs of the products themselves but in the associated costs of doctors’ fees and prescription charges. The products themselves have good ingredients which are clinically proven, and the products work. The trick is trying to find the best combination of products in the range that suit your particular skin type. Buying the whole range is expensive, and having to see a dermatologist is time consuming and costly as well, so it may be better buying a cheaper off the shelf product if you have no serious issues with your skin.
